Dr. Jesse Charlton is an Assistant Professor in the School of Kinesiology at the University of British Columbia where he directs the Applied Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Laboratory. After receiving his MSc and PhD in Clinical Biomechanics at UBC, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship with the School of Biomedical Engineering and Kinesiology. He leads an interdisciplinary research program that spans fundamental biomechanics and clinical applications, including musculoskeletal modelling, wearable sensing, human-interfacing devices, and biomechanically driven rehab for musculoskeletal disease and injury. The goal of his lab is to understand the mechanisms underlying human movement and their influence on health and performance in all its forms. Dr Charlton has wide ranging experience, including work in the wearable health technology space, kinesiology, and physical education.
